Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to store cluster information in a distributed datastore are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory; programmable circuitry; and first instructions to cause the programmable circuitry to: obtain second instructions to create a cluster of first hosts; determine second hosts of the cluster of the first hosts to implement a distributed datastore in the cluster; and cause transmission of third instructions to store cluster information corresponding to the cluster of the first hosts in datastores of the second hosts.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage virtual machine shutdowns in a computing environment. In one example, a management service identifies a virtual machine file in a file system associated with a first virtual machine and one or more additional virtual machines and identifies a lock on the virtual machine file by the first virtual machine. The management service further stops execution of the one or more additional virtual machines in response to identifying the lock.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to manage a deployment of virtual machines in a cluster by, in a first host of a plurality of hosts, monitor, with first control plane services, an availability of second control plane services at a second host of the plurality of hosts, wherein the first control plane services and the second control plane services support implementation of application programming interface (API) requests in association with managing a cluster, after a determination that the second control plane services at the second host is not available, assign the first control plane services at the first host to operate in place of the second control plane services at the second host, and in the first host, assign, via the first control plane services at the first host, resources of one or more hosts in the cluster to support the API request.

Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for backing up and recovering a software-defined data center (“SDDC”). In one example, entities of the SDDC, such as virtual machines, hosts, and clusters, can coexist with corresponding entity stores. The entity stores can store current state information for each SDDC entity. For example, an identifier or name of a virtual machine can be stored in that virtual machine's corresponding entity store. When recovery of a controller is needed, the controller can rebuild state information that has changed after the controller was backed up, by retrieving state information from entity stores of the various SDDC entities.
